    I have a complicated ownership case here

    Just to make sure the bike isn't stolen or has a lien on it, run a UVIP on the VIN number at Service Ontario. If it really hasn't been registered, then it shouldn't show up, but if it does show up under someone else's name, then run, don't walk, away. If the bike is still registered under the...

    It's not that hot that it would evaporate instantly.

    Gps trackers... Nerds assemble!

    I used Apple airtags on my luggage on our last trip. iPhones are prevalent everywhere in the world. Baggage handlers, airline personnel, they all carry Apple devices. We were able to track our bags the entire way of the trip. Problem with GPS-based trackers is that they don't work very well...

    How do I clean melted pants off exhaust

    Yep. This was on a dirtbike, so I didn't care if there were little scratches on the pipe. If you want your chrome to be nice and shiny, take your time scraping the plastic off and use a very soft scraper.

    How do I clean melted pants off exhaust

    Melted my rain pants on the pipe of my enduro. Used oven cleaner and a plastic scraper to scrape off the residue. Bring the exhaust up to running temperature and don't use anything harder or more abrasive than the pipe itself or you'll scratch it up.

    Lock for helmet?

    Even if your helmet isn't worth a lot of money and you don't mind the strap being cut and the lid stolen (because hey, D-ring locks are soooo convenient!), it's still a major pain in the ass to have to call your wife or buddy to bring a spare helmet to where you and your bike are at. Had my...

    Lock for helmet?

    If you ever want your helmet to be missing when you return back to your bike, lock it up using the straps. Thieves will cut the strap and restrap the helmet. $1000 Shoei gone because I used the strap lock on the bike. Ever since then, I run a cable lock through the visor hole. Cables are...

    Fake ads!

    Nope. I just sent a Nigerian prince a small sum of money to help him move a million dollars out of the country. When the funds are re-homed, I'll receive $50,000!!! Not bad for a $5000 initial investment. Sometimes you just gotta be smart with your money.

    When your motorcycle becomes a "vehicle"

    Yep, same. Ride year-round, in the rain, snow, blazing heat. Ride for fun. Ride to work. Ride at work. Ride, ride ride!

    Motorcycle gear is so personal. I suggest you go to a motorcycle store and try on some gear to get a sense of what kind of gear you like for the budget you have. For jackets, get something with armor inside that covers all your pointy bits (shoulders, elbows and a good back protector insert)...

    2025 WSBK Thread

    Hats off to Bulega. Kept in touch the entire last lap even through Toprak's fastest sectors to capitalize on the final straightaway. Was entertaining to watch Bautista cut through the field from 16th to 5th in Race 1 but felt bad for him in Race 2. Coulda been a podium contender.

    Lead acid vs AGM life expectancy

    I've had Lithium batteries on close to half the bikes I've owned in the last 5 years. IME, the life expectancy is about the same as AGM, brand is a good indicator of quality and life - same as with anything else. Had a crappy lithium give up the ghost 3.5 seasons in - regular maintenance with a...
